Can anybody suggest a good plugin that will ban sites that do that shit? I don't even want to show up in their daily-active-user count.
On any chrome-based browser: chrome://flags then scroll down to Autoplay policy and select "Document user activation is required"
As a bonus , I'll probably soon reveal the unbelievable story of how I acquired my legal knowledge - by doing something nobody else ever has, and which, until now, would be considered pretty much impossible.
I'd rather not, because there is some danger involved, but it's necessary to achieve my goals in an open and transperent fashion.
Advice and help sought and welcome.
Trying to print an envelope address in openoffice under linux? What a waste of time.
Do the people who code this sh*t actually ever use it? Or do they never use anything else, so they simply don't know that it's possible to do better?
After 15 years, we still don't have an un-b0rked browser. CSS 2.1 was done in 1997, and yet firefox, opera, chrome, arora - they all render differently for non-trivial layouts.
15 years, and they still can't get the basics right. It means that the problem is not the implementation, but the underlying concepts that are flawed in fundamental ways.
And there's no blaming Microsoft or Apple for this fiasco.
It can create some buzz and there's certain publicity channels (e.g. slashdot) that won't discuss purely proprietary software.
Want to re-think that one, Skppy? Windows, OSX, iOS, Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Semantec yadda yadda yadda
The bogosity meter just pegged.
